摘要
口语测试由评分员根据评分标准对考生的语言产出进行评估打分,其评分受到多方面因素的影响。本文对参加2005年TEM4口试评分的44位评分员进行了问卷调查和口头采访。结果发现他们认为:1)评分员和评分标准之间的交互作用对评分有很大影响;2)评分员的身体状况和情绪、评分员的不同口语水平、工作态度和对口语能力的理解影响评分的一致性;3)录音质量通过影响评分员的情绪间接影响评分;4)评分员的研究方向、学历和评分质量无关。
A survey was carried out in this study to find out the factors that the raters perceived as affecting the rating of TEM-4 Oral Test, a large-scale tape-mediated oral English testing system in China. The findings show that what the raters perceived as affecting the rating included training, raters' interaction with the rating criteria, raters' physical and emotional conditions, raters' attitudes towards the rating work, raters' oral English proficiency level, and the recording quality. Raters' educational and research background were perceived not to affect the rating.
